Thank you everyone and Happy Founder's Day to all my sisters!
"A chilly rain splattered against the windowpanes of the little dormitory room on Professional Hall, the dormitory floor where most of the seniors lived. Saturday meant no classes, and the dreary weather that hung over Farmville was a perfect excuse for the four friends to tuck themselves away in that cozy spot and talk for hours... It was that afternoon that Kappa Delta was born - October 23, 1897 - at the State Female Normal School in Farmville, Virginia."

The four friends were Lenora Ashmore Blackiston, Sara Turner White, Mary Sommerville Sparks Hendrick and Julia Gardiner Tyler Wilson.
